Hello! It's been a while - thanks for your patience and for sticking with this unexpected (and unexplained, as yet) absence. I have felt it! Today's post is a quick update on all things TTSM and plan for the future. Back in May, my apartment contract came to an end and after 7 years renting, I decided to take the big first step on to the property ladder and try to buy. I packed up and moved back in with my wonderful parents whilst I searched. This included packing up all art, kitchen and craft items and making anything has been almost impossible [and difficult for me!].

After 4 months or viewings, being gazumped and nearly giving up, I finally found and had an offer accepted on the house - I'm hoping I'll be in by November. There's much to be done, so expect a few large-scale house projects to make their way to the blog too.

On to the blog - I have big plans for this space. An enforced break has meant I can think, procrastinate and think some more about these plans: regular content, features, collaborations and a much more joined up community here, on Facebook, Instagram and a branch in to YouTube.

I've also started the process of opening a shop.

To mark all this, there is a lot of re-design going on behind the scenes and - dependent on my move - I hope to have this lined up for my favourite time of year.

In the meantime, to keep up with everything, please do visit me on Twitter and say hi!

I'll be posting a few Halloween makes in the coming weeks and I have a giveaway in collaboration with JewelleryMaker next Friday - so I'll see you then! x
